Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted October 6, 2012byjkudera

We had fun being involved in many activities this week and accomplished a lot! We also learned the importance of giving back. As a school we raised over 400 food items for our local food bank, and our Student Council volunteered at the Salvation Army sorting food items. Well done Highlanders!

We learned that we all celebrate different traditions for the Thanksgiving Day Weekend. Some of the traditions we started at the school have continued to be celebrated.

This year we:

Made turkeys using our hand prints

Wrote about our traditions

Read a variety of Thanksgiving stories

Made apple sauce

Made leaf collages

Made turkey pencil holders

Wrote letters to our pen pals in Italy

Made “What We are Thankful For” feathers

Discussed the food we eat during this time and why we eat these food

Discussed healthy options for food

Ran a Turkey Trot

We had a casual day and did not have to wear our uniforms!

From all of the staff at GAA we wish you a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!
